Wow, what a warm welcome guys, thank you.
Chrisbojan: Thanks for stopping by. That centaur piece was redone a couple of times because I forgot to draw in a perspective grid in order to simulate the light and ground haha. Your 3D skills are mind blowing and I love those values, Keep up the great posts.
NoodleInBox: Thanks a ton Anna. Ruan Jia's paintings have been my biggest teacher lately, one day I'll branch out so I don't become a complete clone. You've made some massive progress, and love how you break down anatomy in those studies. Your latest painting is looking solid, keep up the awesome work.
Triggerpigking: Haha, thanks so much. I guess I'm not an absolute beginner, but my skills definitely feel that way. I love your consistency over the years, I admire those who continue year after year for decades. Your latest design drawing is looking very clean, would love to see it painted.
ZombieChinchilla: Thank you for the motivational comment, my skills are a century away from where I want to go, so I feel like just a beginner still. Congrats on your BFA, and love your silhouette design in those portraits, very art nouveau. Keep up those great designs.

I'm pretty bad at environments and scenes, as you can see in my thumbnail sketch. So I've been diving head first into master studies until I can take off the training wheels and stand on my own.

If anyone's interested, I recorded the Ruan Jia master study I just to see what it would look like:
I'll try to post once a week so I don't spam too often. And wow, everyone is so loving and nice here, I am just blown away. Thanks so much everyone!
